Andrew Patrick Sturm, a 40-year-old emergency room physician at HCA JFK North Hospital, was found dead at his home in Bay Hill Estates, West Palm Beach, Florida, on April 12, 2022. His body was discovered during a police welfare check after he failed to show up for work. Officers also found Jacqueline Cupolo, the fiancée’s mother, dead from gunshot wounds, and Alexandra Cupolo, Sturm’s fiancée, lying in bed appearing in and out of consciousness.

Police say Alexandra Cupolo, 27, was responsible for the killings and was charged with two counts of premeditated first-degree murder. Alexandra initially told officers she acted in self-defense and made statements about the occult’s influence; a note found in the kitchen referenced self-defense and mentioned the occult. During hospitalization and questioning she admitted shooting her mother and said she shot Sturm because he was standing next to her mother. The investigation focused heavily on her mental state.

If anyone knew Andrew, Jacqueline, or Alexandra or has information about what happened that day, please share what you know.
